Monthly Giving default with Single gift option

Chris LeBrun

I am a long-time Blackbaud user who is new to OLX and I'm looking for a very specific solution. We want to make a donation form that defaults to recurring gifts but gives donors the option to choose to make it a one-time gift. Basically, we're looking for the opposite of what I see in OLX (default to single gift, with check-box option for recurring). Is there anyway to do this in one form or do I need to make two forms and have donors choose one from a landing page of sorts? 


Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Hey Chris, Great question. Today, we see orgs using 2 different forms for their single and recurring gifts in order to not confuse donors. However, I totally understand the request. I am surprised but I actually don't see this one in our Ideas bank. If you have the time please submit there so we can add it to our backlog: https://community.blackbaud.com/products/onlineexpress/ideas

Thanks!

One more thing to add, Chris, check out the way we set up the Pledge gift options area - where you can toggle between how you would like your pledge v. single gifts to be displayed. Would you imagine this to solve your problem for the recurring gift request as well?
